Remove it, clean it maybe your MAF sensor is dirty, but before removing disconnect the battery cable first, if the check engine light is on, this will put it out. You are better off to clean it with with carburator cleaner then put it back. Hope this help.

An engine w/ bad MAF sensor may be hard to start or stall after starting. Minsan it may hesitate under load, surge idle, rough or run excesively rich or lean. Your engine may also hiccup when the throttle suddenly changes position.

Of course, lahat yon ay symtoms sa MAF pero, dont overlook the basics, kagaya ng low engine compression, low vacuum, low fuel pressure, leaky or dirty injectors, ignition misfire, excessive backpressure(plugged na yong converter) at iba pa, since problems in any of these ay parang similar sa MAF problem at contributor din sa problema. So before changing MAF, wont cost you to check those area too. Good luck.
